As shareholders of Goldman Sachs were showing their disappointment over management's presentations at February's investor day just hours earlier, the firm's chief executive, David Solomon, was floating high above the Atlantic. Cruising along at 43,000 feet, Solomon was aboard the firm's Gulfstream, bound for the Bahamas. It's a trip the CEO has made many times before, according to signal data for Solomon's planes and half a dozen people familiar with the CEO's schedule. Goldman insiders have been grumbling ever since about Solomon's personal jet use, to the Bahamas and elsewhere, considering it too flashy and ultimately unbecoming of a workaday Goldman CEO, Dakin Campbell reports. Insider compiled the flights taken by the Wall Street firm's two corporate jets from the beginning of 2022 through March of this year. See where they have traveled the most, often with the CEO aboard. |
